Um… hi there. So, I know it’s been forever and you all want to know how everything went after we had the baby and I swear I was just about to get around to telling you, but then life got in the way and… I have a baby… and a toddler…

Oh never mind.

I spent the rest of the day after having Anwyn drugged out of my mind. Really, I couldn’t tell you anything that happened that day. I was released a few days later. The end.

But it wasn’t the end. After getting home I took my sweet time healing, and ended up getting a uterine infection 5 weeks later. That was one of the most horrific experiences ever, because apparently a sign that you might have an infection in there is that you bleed. Lots of sudden blood. I thought I was dying and my husband rushed me to the hospital only to find out they couldn’t see anything actually wrong with me. The Dr. the next day determined that I had an infection and gave me medicine. The whole thing seemed rather anticlimactic in the end.

Anwyn is huge. Well, she’s normal, but to me she seems big. She giggles and coos and makes weird faces when she farts and does all those wonderful silly things that babies are supposed to do. She loves bath time and hates tummy time. She will be four months old at the end of the month, and I think she might be getting her first tooth because she has suddenly decided she has to gnaw and drool all over everything. She hasn’t rolled over yet, but I think she’s strong enough to. She rolls onto her side and just stays there. I can’t leave her on her tummy long enough for her to roll onto her back because my ears can’t handle the noise she makes when I try, and nothing in the world will convince her to roll from her back to her tummy. So she rolls onto her side and makes silly noises and I’ll just have to accept that.

She’s so strong already. Her legs, arms, neck, everything is perfect. She doesn’t have the motor skills to do half of what she wants to, and you can see her trying to work that out sometimes. She’ll watch Ashton do something and try to mimic him, figuring out how he does it. She has started to show interest in other babies and kids. She giggles and talk to them. The only trouble is, she doesn’t seem to understand that the ones on t.v. can’t respond to her. So by the end of most shows that feature kids she’s yelling at the television, determined to get their attention. It’s kind of funny to watch.

That’s about all there is to tell, really. I’m dancing again and loving it. Aaron’s still hunting for a new place to work (he has a job, but would like something new). Life is pretty much still going on the way it was before. We just have one more person in it now, is all.

Speaking of the new person… it’s time for her to wake up. Wish me luck!
